This is a wonderful message, Pat–I recall the years when my perfectionism in every area was a serious issue of bondage; I thought if I could make all the exterior perfect–my appearance, my work, my apartment, my projects–maybe no one would notice what a mess I was inside. I wasn’t fooling anyone. And guests (even family) don’t enjoy everything that says “holiday” if the hostess is so obviously stressed to the max. So I really hope all the women who need to hear, and relax, read your post! 🙂 Have a blessed Christmas !
